17. Oh, ok I get it now

Sorry bout that. The company is owned by an arab, therefore it's bad. :sarcasm:

We had no problem with other foreign countries of dubious political stripe (ie China) controlling our ports, but the Arab one, well that's just a bad idea.

I personally think all ports should be nationalized for security reasons. The problem I had is nobody cared about it until it was an Arab country. Nobody would have batted an eye at Russia, Venezuela, or an Israeli company gaining the contract. The problem arose when it was an Arab company.
